News segment focusing on the artists Gilbert & George and the opening of their 1999 exhibition at the Ormeau Baths Gallery.
The opening night of the exhibition was picketed by a group of Free Presbyterian protesters, led by Reverend Alan Smylie. They are pictured outside the gallery, singing and holding aloft banners - 'Sin is a Reproach to any Nation.' They objected to what they considered the obscene and provocative subject matter contained in the artworks - nude depictions of the artists themselves, representations of human excretia and the strong language of certain titles.
Interviewed by Ivan Little, the artists themselves appear unfazed by the protests. Unfailingly polite, they explain that "we more than understand their thoughts and feelings... But, as western artists we have the privilege of freedom of speech and so do they, and we say, may the best man win!"
Additional interviewees include (Sinn Fein) Councillor Marie Moore, Councillor Stephen McBride and other attendees, the latter attempting to engage the protestors in dialogue.
